LSK Accuses Political Activist Over Inciting Facebook Post

The law society of Kenya has accused Political activist Moses Kuria for a Facebook post that they claim is hate speech.

Law Society of Kenya LSK Secretary Apollo Mboya wrote to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Keriako Tobiko to investigate and prosecute the author of the post and those who commented on itaccording to the daily nation on Wednesday

“The posts incite the public to violence targeted at specific community and may very well constitute hate speech which if not curbed, [could] plunge the country into chaos,” Mr Mboya wrote, insisting that LSK had been informed of the post by “concerned members of the public.”

LSK was referring to a post on Facebook by a Moses Kuria after the twin explosion in Nairobi’s Gikomba market in which 12 people died and dozens others were hospitalised.

It read: “I think it is only a matter of time before Kenyans start violence against PERCEIVED terrorists, their sympathisers, their financiers and those issuing travel advisories without intelligence. I am not sure I will not be the one of those Kenyans. When you touch Gikomba the nerve centre of our economic enterprise, you really cross the line. Brace yourself. Choices have consequences.”
